Shannon Roberts has always had a passion for art and illustrations, but it wasn't until she became a stay-at-home mom following her elementary teaching career that she decided to try using that passion to help support her family. She was never an art teacher, and she did not earn a degree in anything art related, but it was always something Shannon loved to do in her spare time. In 2014, Shannon decided to start an Etsy shop selling intriguing and unique types of art - chalkboard art! She prayed long and hard before finally deciding to embark on this journey, and truly felt like God was nudging her heart this direction. Little did she know that 6 months after opening her shop, the first of many manufacturers would be reaching out to reproduce her work! Shannon truly believes that God opens doors, and she hopes to glorify Him with every opportunity that He places in front of her. Shannon currently lives in Maryland with her husband and their two beautiful children.
